She also had an abusive fiance easily upset with her in the form of Kotarō Yanagisawa, better known to us as Shiro. Class E's previous teacher, Aguri Yukimura was a devotedly hard worker with a real love for what they did and was kind, but was pushing their efforts to a group broken enough by the system to believe that working harder will lead them nowhere.Leading her to betray them while trying to prove her own strength. And the God of Death arc elaborates how she felt the relative normalcy of her life with the students had to be nipped before she became too engulfed in it, even if it made her happy. Irina herself, during the Island arc confessing she took her first life at a young age, that of the murderer of her parents and had to share the body heat of her victim to stay alive she embraced the world of assassination instead of fearing death, as Lovro told her the memory of the kill would never leave her.Luckily, Koro-sensei is there to help rebuild their confidence. All of Class E can be considered this after seeing the other students and teachers treat them like pariahs, since they are basically punching bags for the rest of the school.The only consolation is that in the latter, it can be seen that Tetsuo genuinely cared about her. Granted that's all only in the movie, but in the Manga she's still made into a sex slave, develops Stockholm syndrome, and is then shot. Her Woobie status is achieved by being the only truly kind and innocent character in the entire setting, yet being mocked, ignored, almost raped and eventually crushed to death by the then-mutating Tetsuo.

Kaori, Tetsuo's girlfriend also qualifies.The scenes from his backstory really make you feel for the guy, in part because he made a very cute kid. He largely wants revenge on the city after years of being subjected to Parental Abandonment and Kids Are Cruel, and looked down upon by everyone else in his gang including his best friend. Misuzu from AIR reaches a certain level of woobie-ness in the last few episodes of the series, when she finally gets overcome by her curse and, after a lot of pain, dies beautifully in the arms of her adoptive mother.Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess perfectly fits this trope when she starts crying, usually because she sees Keiichi being in any way physical with another girl.Thankfully, things get better for her once she confesses and Rentarou confirms that he does return her feelings despite already being in a relationship with two other girls. Then she falls in love with Rentarou, only to believe that her feelings are unrequited when she sees him with Hakari and Karane. Shizuka of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You more than qualifies with her backstory - she was constantly picked on by her fellow students for pointing at passages in books instead of using her voice to communicate, and physically abused and yelled at by her mother for being a Cute Mute.Amongst all of the drama in anime and manga, there are some characters that you would really want to comfort.
